The Well of Being

Like Paulo’s Alchemist, it wasn’t something originally made successful by a publisher (The Alchemist’s first print run of 800 copies was deemed a disaster and the book went out of print). It took some time for it to reach its worldwide audience of millions. The Well of Being is something that artist Jean-Pierre created for his friends and family, a crowd-funded labour of love with no particular commercial prospect. It is such a privilege to bring his story now to a wider readership. With ringing endorsements already from Ram Dass and Daniel Goleman, the power of the Well’s work is indisputable. And our swift sales of translation rights into Japanese, Chinese, German and other languages, show that what this book has to say is truly universal.
